Dear Hillary,
I think you were being a little unkind to the chap calling himself Uncle Bill a couple of weeks ago.So his spelling wasn’t perfect, but I’m sure you must have had a slip of the pen every so often.Nobody’s perfect.This is an advice column, not a spelling bee.Keep up the good work, though, I always enjoy your column, even though sometimes you are obviously in a bitchy mood and something sends you off.
Uncle Bob
Dear Uncle Bob,
Has this column become the Old Uncles club newsletter or something?Bob, my Petal and champion of the uncles’ cause, if I can try and get the spelling right in English, then I expect the same of the people who write in.If they can’t get it right I don’t mind, but I will correct them where I see something wrong.Is there something wrong with that?I don’t think so, but thank you for the nice words, as well as your bitchy ones.Do I get in a mood?When “something sends me off?”Don’t be silly, Uncle Bob.I don’t need a reason.
